[HTC EVO 3D] PatrickHuey:
just rooted my evo3d, everything went great and i even git CWM to install the first time correctly. heres where i think i went wrong-

i downloaded rom manager and i attempted to use it and it worked great. to me it seemed like it worked because i was able to choose my phone and even flashed the CWM over the original one i had. i made a backup of my stock rom and tried a rom from the dev forum, didnt like it and tried to switch back and got the MD5 mismatch error when i tried to restore my stock rom. now, i thought i would try to flash the original CWM which was blue over the CWM(orange) and then attempted to get the rom to restore. that was also a fail. what can i do? i read that installing busy box could effect this? any help would be appreciated.

[HTC EVO 3D] AdRock02gt:
I may have found a way to fix the MD5 issue.

Well, it worked for mine.

I saved a backup of the stock ROM before I installed the needle kernel.

it was named 2011-08-01-23.53.47

The I saved another backup of the ROM with the needle kernel/

it was named 2011-08-02-19.06.28 w/ needlekernel

What happened was that on the sd card the backup folder was named 2011-08-02-19.06.28 w/ then inside that folder was another folder named needlekernel . And that folder contained the backup files.

It seems that putting the space in the name caused it to create another folder within the backup folder instead of just having the backup files in there. I kept getting the MD5 mismatch when I tried to restore that backup.

So I took the files out of the needlekernel folder and put them in the 2011-08-02-19.06.28 w/ folder. I then deleted the needlekernel folder. The last thing was to take the (space)w/ off of the end of the folder name so it was just as the program named it to begin with.. 2011-08-02-19.06.28

After doing that I was able to restore the backup through ROM Manager. So apparently it's best not to add anything to the backup name when saving it.

One other thing I'll mention. When I restored the backup with the needle kernel in it it put the stock kernel back in the ROM.

Hope this helps anyone with the MD5 issue.

Hi guys. well I've noticed something quite interesting, after suffering so little battery life, I started researching and found that my values ​​are assigned enough "high" for a phone like the memory Atrix and their administration has . go to system / etc / init.d delete the file "lowmemorykiller" and replace it by this that attached here. luck and hopefully serve them, to me but now goes a long way, and the performance hardly noticeable.

raises on the replaced file values. verify whether changes in / sys / module / lowmemorykiller / parameters / minfree (view as text)

sry for my bad english.
[Xperia Play General] Lagmobile:
Hey guys. I hate making my first post a really noobie question but here it goes.

I just updated my rooted Xperia Play to 2.3.3 and it erased and/or re-wrote all of my system apps. I stupidly converted some of my downloaded apps into system apps using Titanium (because system apps turn red on the list. It helped me quickly figure out what was external and what was internal. Stupid, yes, and more trouble then it was actually worth.) so those apps were lost. Didn't matter, I had backups but I lost my root so I couldn't access them.

Forgetting what I used to root my phone originally I decided to use z4root after reading about it somewhere. The site I got it from is usually trust worthy but when I downloaded the file my OfficeScan (its a school bought computer) warned me of a potential virus threat. I wrote it off as just the pop-up ad and un-zipped and transferred the file to my phone. I still am not sure if it was a virus or not... Running z4root it got up to "acquiring shell root..." or something like that before kicking me back to the home screen with no change. I, again, stupidly, re-ran it several times without rebooting between each attempt. Giving up I then realized to reboot. Strangely rebooting was A LOT faster then it was usually is and I don't know if that was z4 or 2.3.3.

Anyway I remembered that I used Gingerbreak last time and re-installed that. I made several attempts with that with no change either. Too many to count, but at least more than 8. Several attempts I got a call or a text and, checking them, ended the process. 2 attempts I left running for about half an hour (I know that the instructions say it will never take more then 10 minutes) and some I ended with a battery pull after more then 10mins(as per instruction).

So I guess I have several questions:

1. How bad did I f* up, If I did so?

2. Any suggestions on how to re-root/fix it?

3. Will switching to an empty SD card, successfully rooting it, and switching back to the full card still keep the root?

4. Does an in phone factory reset work the same as flashing the same rom or will I need to actually flash that new rom?

5. If I do need to flash, where can I find a regular Play rom? Or do you have suggestions about a better rom?

6. Is the fast reboot the work of the half done, possibly a virus, z4root process or just the 2.3.3 update?

7.Lastly Was this tl and you ;dr?

Normally, I wouldn't care if there was no fix; My phone boots much faster, I didn't lose all my apps and only some apps launch a little slower then before. But I made tons of progress on Zenonia 2 and I want my back ups for that... lol.

Any help appreciated. Also thanks for putting up with a noob that's writing way to formally :P
[Xperia Play General] captain67:
1. Messing with the system apps, and not backing them up probably caused you to not have an OTA update. I'm guessing you flashed it? Not restoring anything and not doing an OTA was mistake number one. Trying to use z4root was mistake number 2.

2. Get the generic UK firmware from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1097591

-Flash that with Bin4ry and Androxhyde's flashtool

-Put in your carrier's APN settings, configure your google account, wifi etc. etc.

-Get Gingerbreak 1.2, run it(I used Astro to open the apk, and you need uunknown sources enabled).

Gingerbreak only worked for me when I formatted an SD card right before running it. I used a spare that was lying around, not the usual one with all my data, and I suggest you do the same if you kept your titanium backups. Hopefully you'll get rooted after about 3-5 minutes. Do not mess with any apps/bloatware after you have the root.

-After you have root, go into the settings menu and start an OTA update.

You should now have 2.3.3 WITH root.

-Once the phone is updated, install Titanium Backup and start backing up your old apps from before you messed up the phone and lost root.

-At this point feel free to remove the bloatware, but make sure you back it up in titanium for later.

3. Switching SD cards won't affect root at all.

4. A factory reset will reset whatever ROM was installed last. In other words, you can't revert back to 2.3.2 with a reset, it'll just reset 2.3.3 - It's really just for wiping data and settings.

5.The regular play ROM is the UK generic I posted above. The only "better" roms are customs that you need an unlocked bootloader to install. Currently they're still buggy and in development and not worth getting unless you like incomplete ROMs with bugs, and wanna lose the ability to update normally. Both OTA updates and the Sony Ericsson Update Service will brick your phone once the bootloader's unlocked.

6. My phone was booting a bit faster after updating to 2.3.3, and became even faster after removing some bloatware.

-Root doesn't speed up the boot process.

-I highly doubt an Android phone would have a virus that makes it boot faster, it's probably just from the update.

7. No, it wasn't. No, I didn't.
[Xperia Play General] Lagmobile:
Thanks for the (semi-)quick response. Been browsing around the web with this tab open, constantly refreshing like a creep. I'll try your advice soon but its like 3am, just wanted to say thanks and love your Stocking pic.

Btw is there a difference between A US, UK or CAN rom or do those even exist?
[Xperia Play General] captain67:
The only real differences are carrier specific apps, and some versions have different games installed.

[Xperia Play General] Lagmobile:
Seems like I was to late to flash and the link to the rom you gave me may have been updated to 2.3.3 as well. I was looking for a Canada/Rodgers rom anyway but the forum search isn't turning up anything and google seems to hate me...

Help anyone?
[Xperia Play General] captain67:
The link was for 2.3.2 in the generic.

The only rogers rom available is for 2.3.3 so you won't be getting root without an unlocked bootloader with that one.

Just follow the directions and it should be fine.

The rogers apps are available in the android market separately.

now ive been using KP's GB 2.3.4 beta 4 ROM for awhile and it works well, except for the battery reporting issue. now ive used the fix posted by jug6ernut but the battery jumping issue still isnt fixed. my phone will report a full charge at 100%, then immediately go to 99% when unplugged. then it will drain to lets say 78%. i can reboot and it will pop back up to 94%. some people say its working for them, some say it wont. ive done a full proper battery calibration using CWM Recovery and using the Battery Calibration app.

i would love to post in the dev thread below, but cannot yet. has anyone else had any success with the battery reporting issue or definitive fixes??

also, how often will the phone report my battery data as incorrect? if i charge to 100% then immediately reboot, reporting will now be correct from then forth until plugged in and charged to 100 again? im under the impression as long as i reboot after unplugged, the battery drain reporting will be correct.

-Post what rom it is.. INCLUDING Build Number

-Explain why it is the best!

If you could, let me know how good battery life is and stability!

-Looking for an everyday rom.. if possible

-Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] sorgo:
I've tested several ROMs on my DZ and now I use Vision Unity.

It's basicly a 2.1/3.0 Sense hybrid ROM giving you real eye-candy.

In the latest version (1.29.0) I found some bugs/disadvantages:

- the homescreen does not rotate on keyboard open

- sometimes it lags a bit

- it takes about 300 MB ram after start, leaving you just about 70MB free (other roms are much better in this criteria)

- I experienced already few times sudden phone restart (phone just lying on table, no aggresive apps run like 3d games etc, and after few hours I take the phone and it asks for PIN) = pretty critical if you wait for an important call.

but among the roms I've tried, this seems far the best if you decide to have HTC Sense. If you can miss sense, stick to CM7, there are really cool features like finetuning the display auto brightness intensity levels (really killer feature to battery life!)
[G2 and Desire Z General] jontornblom:
I enjoy Virtuous Sense 2.0.0 because I find it to be consistently fast and responsive, everything works for me all the time, and I still have enough ram to run a couple of apps in the background, unlike every sense 3.0 rom/hybrid I've tried.

Highly highly recommended.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xsteven77x:
:confused: LMFAO.
[G2 and Desire Z General] fluxgfx:
Cyanogen MOD 7 RC 1 or if your so inclined, nightly build #156.

- So far after testing a few ROM I've been back to CM7. Why? Once installed and running and even with keep all my favourite apps open and running in the background, I still manage to keep about 80mb of ram and CPU usage is usually between 2% and 82% with an average of 4 or 5 programs running. Ok a bit excessive I know but it still works.

I have custom memory script running that's available here on XDA and various other gadget. Battery life is usually fairly consistent with 1day 9hours of use. I use the device quite a bit in a day.

Power saving options: Brightness is set to 20% only, Juice Defender installed.

Running background application is limited to my email mostly unless I'm doing some work. Most of the time email, exchange, Facebook and twitter are sync.

I'm using Launcher Pro with the license for my main interface. Here are some screen captures for your pleasure.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Grundoko:
Personally, my favorite ROM is MIUI.us

The stock Music app in it, is my favorite music app by far, I especially love how it not only gets the lyrics, but also scrolls them karaoke style with the song. It also has a nice theming system, and a great built in theme. Everything overall looks nicer than stock Android.

Another great thing about it is the status bar, you can enable/disable USB Mass Storage using an on/off slider in the notifications, and I love the way the switches work in the status bar.

Then there's the stock Launcher, which is much nicer than the stock Android launcher in my opinion, though I still replace it with Go Launcher, again, my personal favorite.

If you're looking for a responsive, nice looking, and user friendly ROM, MIUI.us would be my suggestion. It also has a nice backup feature with their servers. You just need to make an MIUI account. Not sure if it's still necessary, but back when I did it, I had to go to the chinese MIUI website and use Google Translate to make my account <_<
[G2 and Desire Z General] ChristianFS1:
Amen, Brotha ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Cimer:
The best rom is hardest to define because it's really up to personally preference. MIUI? Sure if you're into that whole thing,but frankly I have trust issues with Chinese tech companies for reasons that have been in the news here and there.

Cyanogenmod is a great AOSP rom even though it's not 100% AOSP it's quick, intuitive, and has lots of options that would allow you to customize it as you want.

There are other roms such as OTA roms that have been made that are also very quick, but not quite as intuitive and they are not as easily customized as some other roms.

Now we get into Sense. There are ports of great roms from other devices that may have a minor bug here and there. Unity is a great rom but I know it needs work on it simply because of little bugs here and there, lack of ram of the Vision, and the battery drain of 1.31 is not so appealing. These roms do not perform as well as Sense roms made for the Desire Z, how ever you do not have some sense 3.0 features that make Sense so much more enjoyable to use.

I currently run Virtuous Sense v2.0.0 and it's a very quick rom, but it lacks the eye candy that we all would love with Unity. However what I love about the sense community is that there are many themes and many ways to enhance sense with add-ons here and there which I have done.

I want to clearly state that this is just my opinion and you should try out the roms for your self to get your own opinion and know your personal preference what appeals to one person is not always the same as the next.

Super cm7 is still my favorite. I keep trying other roms but I always come back to this one because it is super fast and clean. Mexdroid is pretty good to but it is too themed for me. I think they are working on a more stock version which could be pretty sweet.
[G2 and Desire Z General] sorgo:
Actually, I'm now running the "Virtuous Sense v2.0.0 :: Enhanced & Optimized Stock ROM (2.42.405.2)". I miss the Sense 3.0 features, but I can try to flash some available mods. Especially the brightness setting in the quick setting.

But it's a small tax for a stable ROM without restarts.

I'm having a strange issue with my phone. I have a Nexus S 4G, with 2.3.4, rooted using one-click-root (I couldn't figure out the longer way), with CyanogenMod7. I downloaded Tunee online--I had it from the Tunee website before it became unavailable, then I wiped and rooted. Now when I download a song from Tunee, it will show up just fine, play ok. Then if I restart my phone--for whatever reason--the music shows up twice, in both stock music player, and PlayerPro. And if I delete one of them, the other one says "format not playable" or something? I tried uninstalling, and then reinstalling Tunee from another site..still the same thing. Any ideas? Its driving me crazy!
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
It probably says format not playable because by removing the other entry you deleted the song. So the remaining entry is a dead link.

The question is why the songs get enter into the database twice.

They both play to begin with, then when I delete one of them--either one-- the other one becomes a dead link, I guess. Doesn't matter which one.
